Beginning note: I don't own Spirited Away, I'm not making any money off it, and this is all for the funzys.

Fixation
The fixation of his gaze when it finally came to rest upon her was unbearable. "It seems it is time for me to repay my end of the bargain and help you to reclaim your love from the spirit world, just as you have returned mine to me."
He turned around then to gaze at the cliff that protected their cove, gesturing to the face of it as his tiny hand towed her towards shore. "Beneath the cliffs there is a chasm that stretches back for miles. Deep within its depths is a pool; an ancient lake with no spirit to protect it. I can open for you the way, but I cannot summon it a guardian; that is for you to do."
She pressed fingers to her lips; head snapping down to look at him in shock. "Do you...Do you really mean...?"
A small, indulgent smile curled up is lips at that. "It is a part of my domain, but I am willing to gift it to you, provided your dragon can prove his worth as a guardian. Protecting a river is a small feat compared to a subterranean lake."
"He can do it. Kohaku can do anything." She assured him.
The boy nodded solemnly at those words, pressing a hand against the cool stone in caress.
Note: And the plot thickens. Oooooooo. Also, I'm in no mood to be witty at the moment; I just got back from walking 4 miles; I'm uploading this chapter and going to go Die for a bit. Au revoir.
